[amsat-bb] Re: using a microsat as a potential high altitude VHF reflector

were there any ham radio projects (either through amsat-na or abroad) that implemented a passive reflector on an orbital vehicle like Project Echo

Not long ago I saw some webpages and emails about some hams using ISS (or was it Mir?) as a passive reflector.

Coincidently, I was reading about the West Ford project, which was launches of millions of small wire dipoles to be used as reflectors. Some of those clusters are still in orbit. I wonder if they are still in a dense enough field to reflect the 8 Ghz? signal they were designed for.
